Kaleb Hunter choose your border crossings with care. Some are more restrictive than others. Read comments posted by others in this forum about their experiences. Good Luck.

 you are allowed a maximum of two border crossings by land in a calendar year. If allowed to enter you would be stamped in for 30 days as visa exempt arrival and can be extended 30 days at a Thai immigration for 1,900 Thai baht.

1. You need a passport from a Nationality that allows you to come into Thailand if you do not have a multiple entry visa. 2. Maximum you can get is a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, but this depends on the nationality of your passport. 3. your passport.

In that case, only your passport with TM 6 departure card. You get 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, be aware you can only do this twice a calendar year.
